I think the Craig family on the 1851 and 1861 census are one and the same.

Isabella present in 1851 ... missing in 1861.

Isabella may have died ... possibly one of the two deaths you found.

Helen. Found 2 Isabellas on death records on free bmd -1855 and 1859 both Liverpool.Soooo -right Im losing the plot now! Are we saying the Craig family found in 1851 & 1861 in Liverpool are the same family ?(or rather its quite possible they are the same)

For interest:

Concerning the marriage of Thomas Craig and Isabella McMaster. If this couple had continued to live in Scotland, I would be looking for a death for Isabella on Scotlandspeople. (Assuming she died after 1855)

Checked for a death for Isabella McMaster / Craig (cross-ref names)

The first death record to appear for these names is in 1961 ... so definitely not yours

This may be a clue in confirming the Craig family down in England on the census details.

Can't be proved but might be worth keeping in mind just in case.

Thanks Helen. mmmmm, hes a possibilty, I wonder what happened to him.Pity the census doesnt say where he was born! (but I guess that would make life too easy for family history researchers!)

Just found the above family in 1851 census- the same family Mel found for me in 1861 and Thomas is still a police officer , Isabella is with them.Soooooooooo either THomas changed his job to grocer(cant find him in 1871) or Ive got the wrong family! Help!! that brick wall is looming..........

I can't find this Margaret on any census..... actually can find no Margaret Craig born Wigtownshire at all......

I have only found one Thomas Craig who was a Grocer on the 1841 census and he was in Edinburgh at that time......

Just found a family on familysearch.org .Father Thomas Craig, mother Isabella Macmaster
children- Jane. b.1842 mochrum
Annieb. 1845 Kirkinner
Margaret b. 1848 Kirkinner
Has anyone got free access please to scotland census to follow the family through to see if Thomas is a grocer at some point. Thank you in advance to any one willing to do this for me.

Corrected everything now - eek I feel aweful!

Sooo sorry just realised my mistake earlier. Its definitely Margaret- I think Im a bit Family history overload . Doing too much multi- tasking. Hope Ive not sent you on a wild goose chase , I bet your really fed up of me now. Apologies once again.

Who are we trying to find.....Margaret or Mary?
